     shed the Artillery and Engineers, with heads uncovered, sang 
     
     “God save the Queen” with heart and voice proving their 
     
     loyalty and whole-souled devotion to Her Most Gracious 
     
    
   
   
    
     Majesty. 
     
     ST. PETER’S CATHEDRAL. 
     
    
   
   
    
     “ Matins were said at 10.15 a. In. There were two celebra- 
     
     tions of the Holy Communion, the first at 8 a. m., at which 
     
     the Incumbent was celebrant, and the second at It a. m., the 
     
     full choir being in attendance. The Rev. T. H. Hunt was 
     
     celebrant. The Rev James Simpson, M A., preached an 
     
     eloquent and appropriate sermon from Ps. xx, vs. 6— —7, ‘Now 
     
     I know that the Lord saveth his anointed, he will hear from 
     
     his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand. 
     
     Some trust in chariots and some inU horses; but we will 
     
     remember the name of the Lord our God.’ The National 
     
     Anthem was sung for the Post Communion, the large congre- 
     
     gation present joining very heartily In the singing. 
     
    
   
   
    
     ST. JAMES CHURCH. 
     
    
   
   
    
     “The pastor, Rev. T. F. Fullerton, preached to large congre- 
     
     gations morning and evening. At the morning service his text 
     
     was taken from John 16: 13. In the evening the topic was 
     
     found in Psalms 78: 7-8, ‘That they might set their hope in 
     
     God and not forget the works of God, but keep his command- 
     
     ments; and might not be as their fathers—a stubborn and 
     
     rebellious generation.’ Eloquent reference was made in this 
     
     discourse to Her Majesty’s high character and long and 
     
     beneficent reign;and to the happy position of the Queen’s 
     
     loyal subjects in Canada.” 
     
    
   
   
    
     GRACE CHURCH. 
     
    
   
   
    
     “ Rev. W. J. Kirby preached at II service in Grace Church. 
     
     He spoke in the morning from Exodus 8: 19. ‘This is the 
     
     finger of God.’ In the course of his sermon he attributed the 
     
     secret of England’s greatness to Queen Victoria’s implicit trust 
     
     in God, her earnestness in prayer and in seeking after the 
     
     truth. The finger of God is manifest in the sparing and pro- 
     
     tecting of the Queen’s life to such great length, while many 
     
     others have been cut off; in her early Christian training, and 
     
     in having chosen as her husband such a worthy man as the
